Anyone can make a video of themselves sewing a project, but not everyone can explain things in a way that a novice can understand. Thank you, after watching 10 other videos, yours finally did the trick! My son is a music teacher, and I always tell him, that the ability to teach is a gift. You definitely have it. Thanks again.
I have watched many tutorials for sewing a lapped zipper. This is undoubtedly the simplest, clearest explanation I have come across. Thank you so much.
Just gorgeous. This zipper tutorial is the best one on the internet, thank you so much. My nerves about installing a zipper in a satin flower girl dress are calmed, and I can't wait to try this.
I totally agree with comments by Catalina Drey. Your demonstration is the best I've seen on RUclips. The camera angle is on point and your clear and concise step by step narration topped everything off. Thank you so very much!
simply the best/perfect , and to the point. No life stories or what you did yesterday, just teach me what I want to learn, and say goodnight ❤Thank you.
Excellent tutorial....out of all the videos I watched on this technique before I found yours...easiest and most professional looking by far...Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I've tried installing zippers as long as I've been sewing, using the directions from the zipper package, and I've never been able to do so successfully. I just installed the zip in my current garment (for the third time, but practice makes perfect), and while it's not up to your standards, it's WAY better than I've ever done before. Thank you! (And yep, everybody caught your mad skills matching the pattern. We're not worthy!)
Thank you very much for posting this video! I saw it and installed the zipper to a skirt as you showed. I tried a few times before but never came out right. This time came out perfect. Keep posting videos.
I was totally stuck working on a dress for my daughter. I watched your video and was able to successfully install a lapped zipper on my first try. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! You explained and filmed everything so precisely. I'm a fashion merch student & have to take a sewing class & am currently struggling on my first project ever and this was very helpful! I'm also now jealous of your smart-sewing machine bc it would make my life easier rn lol
Excellent instructions ; following your instructions, I laid that zipper beautifully! I am so excited ; can't wait to zip up my next project 🤗... THANKS ❤❤❤❤
This is going to be in my bookmarks as "All the things I didn't pay attention to Ivy saying in class." I'll probably have to watch it a half a dozen more times! (I love your pace in this. Not too slow, you don't talk about things that are unrelated, but not to fast!)
"simply the best" video I have ever seen. For the first time I have managed to insert the neatest and easiest lapped zipper thanks to the skills and techniques shown here. Please, please could you produce a video on a centred zipper too.
Hi, Jacqui. Sorry for the delinquent reply. I appreciate your kind words. More videos slated for production starting in September. I'll put a centered zipper on the list!
thank you so much. Very clear. I do have a question. some instructions and books state to baste the overlap and stitch right next to the basting. Is this necessary?
Hi,can i know where to buy same as your sewing table pls? Brand of your sewing machine pls? I love your sewing table n sewing machine.can you tempt ASAP?
I don't find it necessary. But if it makes it more successful for you and easier, by all means, do it. There is no extra credit for making it harder in the sewing world!

Wonderful video on overlap zipper. Even more impressive is the matching of the pattern with such a large pattern repeat. Masterful!
Ditto !
These are among the very best sewing tutorials I have come across.
Thank you very much!

This is definitely the most helpful tutorial on youtube for how to put on a lapped zipper. Thank you so much.

My pleasure!
That was the clearest demonstration of a lapped zipper I've seen on RUclips. Totally reduced my apprehension about trying this. Thanks!
My pleasure. And thanks for the kind words.
I wish I'd watched this yesterday! Thanks so much for a coherent, simple instruction. Tons better than the insert that comes with the zippers.
I was told to watch this video. Thank you for your wonderful instruction. I will now follow YOUR instruction instead of what comes in the package!

Great to see garment construction being taught, you rock, Russell!! I also love to use my extension table when sewing for proper sewing ergonomics.
simply the best/perfect , and to the point. No life stories or what you did yesterday, just teach me what I want to learn, and say goodnight ❤Thank you.
Excellent tutorial....out of all the videos I watched on this technique before I found yours...easiest and most professional looking by far...Thank you!!!
Wow! You matched up the pattern on the fabric so perfectly! And your instructional technique is impeccable.
You are very kind. Thanks!

Wow you make this sound so easy. Can't wait to try your way. I'm a beginner sewer & you really helped with sleeves & zipper. Glad I found you!

Hi, Jae. Just saw your post. Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks for sharing this video. I totally agree with those who said its the best and simplest lapped zipper tutorial on youtube.
Thank you for your clear precise instruction!! You've helped me make a side seam in dress pants that looks marvelous!! Thank you!
Nice tutorial, very useful! I'm in awe of fabric and pattern matching too!
You are very kind! Yep...people undervalue the benefit of a good working surface. You can never have too much space...or too much light!
Thank you, i have been having nightmares about installing a zipper on a skirt i was making for my daughter. You made this super easy.
Thanks!
